Summary

The application relates to a group of associated gaming devices such as slot machines configured so that a payout can occur simultaneously on each of the machines in the group. The objective is achieved by providing each machine with synchronised timers and software to generate a lottery win for all the machines at a pseudo random time. The application was refused as a program for a computer and a method of playing a game.
